TEL AVIV (WNS) — Yugoslav authorities' in¬ sistence that the Israeli table tennis team depart from the world championship tournament in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia because they could not guarantee their protection against possible terrorist attacks, has disappointed and angered Israelis. Hie Israeli players, who arrived home April 12, said the Yugoslav authorities told them that five unidentified Arabs had been detained as they were about to board a plane at Zaagreb for Sarajevo, TTiey said the Yugoslavs ad¬ vised them strongly to leave to prevent another "Munich" in Sarajevo. The Yugoslavs were ap¬ parently worried over terrorist retaliation for Israel's commando raids on Beirut.
NEW YORK (WNS) — The Federal Equal Em¬ ployment Opportunity Commission and the United States Attorney in Manhattan are suing. the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company with "unlawful employment practices which discriminate against Jews and other minority group members." In a complaint filed April 5 in Federal District Court in Manhattan'the government charged that the 55,000 employes corporation followed a hiring policy which limited employment opportunities of Jews and other minority groups and that it failed to make reasonable accommodation in certain shift week assignments to enable Jews to observe their Sabbath.
NEW YORK (WNS) —The National Committee for the Furtherance of Jewish Ekl^cationnas filed suit in U.S. District Court against Long Island's largest daily tiewsltepef,- Newsday, for its refusal to accept, an advertisement denouncing intermarriage by Jews. The ad, claiming that Jewish intermarriage, if un¬ checked, Was tantamount to "suicide, national .and personal," for''the Jewish people, has been published in the New York Times and the New York Post. The Committee accused Newsday of running ads "facilitating interfaith marriages by ordained clergymen and ads advocating the philosophy of 'Jews - for Jesus."' The group said it was also suing the U.S. government "for giving Newsday preferential mailing privileges and free space in government buildings."
Nixon Asks Power To Giant Trade Benefits To Any Country
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — President Nixon asked authority on April 10 to extend U.S. governmental trade benefits to any country, including the Soviet Union, without prior Congressional sanction when he deemed it in the national interest. But he offered Congress a compromise in the form of a veto on the issue of granting most favored nation status.
The President's request was contained in a 134-page legislative proposal to Congress entitled the "Trade Rfjforn* Act of 1973." His proposals appeared to be asking for more Presidential power over trade than any other American President in ' history to help meet the competition U.S. industry faces in overseas markets. i The President's request no sooner reached Congress when Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D. Wash.) introduced the legislative measure bearing his name which would withhold most favored nation status from any Country that denies its citizens the right to emigrate arid which imposes more than nominal emigration fees. The Jackson measure is obviously aimed at the

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Premier Golda Meir told the Knesset on April 10 that she changed her mind on the issue of land purchases in the administered territories after seeing the list of ap¬ plications from private persons for permission to buy Arab lands and watch- . ing the prices "leap skyward" during the two weeks of nationwide debate on the subject. She said that claims that she was pressured by Washington to change her mind on altering the status' quo were "laughable" and she would not bother to rebut them.
Mrs. Meir admitted that she was reluctantly prepared to go along with a compromise, offered by Justice Minister Yaacov Shimshon Shapiro, that would have permitted Jews to purchase Arab land under strict government super¬ vision and license requirements. But she said \ she changed her mind when '.she was given a list of ap- 'plications for the purchase of huge tracts of land in the 'administered territories.
She said the applications added up to over 100,000 dunams (25,000 acres) of land between Jerusalem and Ramallah and Jerusalem and Bethlehem. She said the size of the tracts led her to believe that speculators were at work in at least some
